In Italy, we’re lucky to have an incredible variety of places that make for stunning backdrops and perfectly suit different tastes.

Over the years, I’ve had the chance to shoot weddings all across the country, and I’ve collected countless visual experiences that I now want to share with you.

If you asked me “where should we take our wedding photos?”, I’d tell you to first think carefully about your ceremony and reception venues. From there, I’d recommend the most fitting spots for your event.

Let’s talk

Villas

Historic villas are ideal for couples who love timeless elegance and the beauty of old architecture.

These venues offer a romantic and dreamy atmosphere, perfect for a fairytale celebration surrounded by nature’s charm.

Historic Palaces

Perfect for couples looking for sophisticated, elegant wedding portraits.

A palace in the city provides endless opportunities with urban backdrops, while one in the countryside gives you lush gardens and beautifully decorated interiors.

Castles

Perfect for couples dreaming of a fairytale wedding and photographs that capture the bride and groom in a regal, romantic atmosphere.

Castles provide breathtaking views and magical settings that make guests feel as if they’ve stepped into another era.

Seaside Hotels

Hotels overlooking the sea are a perfect spot for wedding photos with naturally dramatic backdrops.

Often all it takes is a short walk to the beach, where you’ll find the sea, rocks, and coastal vegetation creating a stunning set for your lovely portraits.

Relais and Masserie

Perfect for couples drawn to rustic charm and countryside serenity.

These venues offer a cozy, authentic atmosphere with landscapes that beautifully frame a joyful yet refined celebration.

Mountain Lodges

Choosing a mountain lodge for your wedding photos allows you to capture vast, breathtaking landscapes bathed in exceptional natural light. This creates romantic and evocative images.

The variety of seasonal settings, combined with an intimate yet adventurous atmosphere, results in truly unique and memorable shots.
